A stalwart of the Joo Chiat neighbourhood, Joo Heng is a household name to the Easterners that's synonymous with homestyled cze char. It may not be particularly rave-worthy, but it's an old reliable that churns out familiar favourites at slightly upmarket prices. Personally, I thought the above-average pricing was justified; we were graciously treated with a good dose of warm friendly service not commonly felt in most cze char joints.
We had:
1) Claypot Chicken ($16): laden with baby corn, snow peas, carrots, cabbage, black mushrooms, and red peppers, the spicy undertones of the chilli peppers tempered the rich savoury overtones of the oyster sauce.
2) Black Pepper Beef ($18): tender without the overt taste of artificial tenderizer. The punchy chilli-spiked black pepper sauce was contrasted with the sweet tartness of the shallots and fresh spring onions.
3) Sambal Sweet Potato Leaves ($12): unctuous with copious lashings of belachan and dried shrimp bits.
4) Beancurd with Prawns ($18): slathered in a gooey egg-drop gravy, sumptuous and a signature must-try
